THIS IS IT

I used to have a saying..."Just when I learned how to play, they went and changed all the rules". I have received a bunch of comments and suggestions on how to do this project. I put them all together and think (and pray) this may be THE WAY. Please read the amended guidelines on the right and PLEASE leave me a comment or E-Mail me (JPolderndirt2@yahoo.com).

THE WORDS I love to write corny little poems. So each month I will post one of my corny little poems. But then...................

THE CHALLENGEOn the First of each month I will post one or more photos that will relate to my corny little poem. You choose one (or two, or all, if you want to) ...do an artwork from that reference photo (oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, pen and ink, drawing, whatever) and send it to me (jpg, clear and sharp and sized) at windowstothewords@gmail.com by the deadline. I will post your art on Windows to the Words Art.

PRIZES For the most part, this is just a fun excercise...if ya feel ya need something for your effort, then come on over to Burnet, Texas and drop by my gallery. I just put on a fresh pot of coffee, and I usually have a stale donut or two around. However....occasionally, I get in a generous mood and award a small painting or a surprise package of my "Tiny Texas Treasures"

So I invite and encourage you to participate. I will try to keep the topics of a generally popular nature, so that your finished artwork will have "sales appeal" and maybe ya can get a few bucks for it on E-Bay. AND... If you participate...it helps me from feeling glum ;-)
